The Bosnian prosecution filed an indictment against 13 people, charging them with crimes against humanity in the Bosanski Novi municipality in 1992. The Bosnian prosecution filed an indictment on Friday against Ljuban Babic, Ranko Balaban, Rajko Karalica, Milenko Brcin, Mirko Odzic, Milenko Babic, Ostoja Balaban, Ratko Goronja, Nikola Reljic, Dragan and Ranko Baltic, Miroslav Kapetanovic and Ranko Grab, charging them with participating in the murders and torture of civilians from the villages of Ekici and Alici in the Bosanski Novi municipality in June 1992.

A former detainee told the trial of four Bosnian Serbs accused of beating prisoners in Bileca in 1992 that he was hit almost every day during his time in custody.

A prosecution witness recalled how he and other prisoners were regularly beaten in cells behind the court in Kotor-Varos after being captured by Bosnian Serb troops in 1992. Prosecution witness Halil Cirkic told the state court on Friday said that he and a few other men, including some minors, were beaten up in a school building in Vrbanjci after he was captured by the Bosnian Serb Army in the village of Cirkino Brdo in the Kotor-Varos municipality on September 28, 1992.

At the trial of former Croatian Defence Council fighter Almaz Nezirovic for alleged torture and inhumane treatment of detained Serb civilians, a witness said the defendant beat him several times.

A prosecution witness said he was beaten and humiliated while he was being detained in a police building in Trnovo, where he saw one of the trial defendants, Edhem Godinjak.

Thousands of people gathered in Srebrenica to mark the 21st anniversary of Europe’s worst atrocity since the Holocaust and bury 127 more Bosniak victims of the massacres.

Testifying at the war crimes trial of former prison warden Nenad Przulj, prosecution witnesses said that prisoners were held in grim conditions and beaten up in detention in the Sokolac area.

Former Bosnian Serb Army soldier Krsto Dostic denied raping a pregnant woman in Foca in 1992 and said he was ready to take a lie-detector test.

A prosecution witness told the trial of six Serbs accused of crimes against humanity that he and other Bosniak prisnoners were beaten up in detention in Kotor-Varos during wartime.

The trial of Bosniak wartime commander Naser Oric for crimes against Serb prisoners of war in the areas of Srebrenica and Bratunac was stopped because of the unacceptable behaviour of a prosecution witness.
